Suspense | Mystery Woman Sleuth

Ten years ago Beatrix Rose was the top assassin for a secret British kill squad. Then she was betrayed and her squad was sent for her. They failed to kill her, but they did kill her husband and kidnapped her daughter.

Beatrix has spent the last ten years hiding and planning her revenge. The only thing she needed was her daughter safe. She now has her daughter and it's time to get revenge and work her way through her kill list. One down, five to go.

The only problem she has is that the next guy on her list is being held by the Somalis in a dangerous jail, in a dangerous country. Beatrix is the best of the best and so focused on killing those who wronged her that nothing will stop her from killing her man.

As she works her way through her list, her daughter stays in safety and trains to survive a world that wants to kill her.

Mark Dawson has written a great trilogy. Book one, IN COLD BLOOD is a must read for fans of thrillers and strong powerful women. Beatrix Rose and her daughter are great characters that are going to fight their way through three powerful and well written books. This not a series to miss, so get all three and start reading.

SUMMARY

Beatrix Rose was the most dangerous assassin in an off-the-books government kill squad until her former boss betrayed her, her husband was gunned down, and her daughter kidnapped. A decade later, Beatrix emerges from the Hong Kong underworld with payback on her mind. It’s a blood feud she didn’t start but she is going to finish. There are six names on her Kill List. With one already crossed off, Beatrix sets out to find her second target, a mercenary being held hostage by Somali terrorists. Can she infiltrate the most dangerous failed state on the planet and scrub him off the List, too? Packed with explosive action and page-turning suspense, In Cold Blood is the first novel in Mark Dawson’s bestselling Beatrix Rose series.
